Book Description
The fed. gov't. is placing greater emphasis on thinning vegetation on public lands to reduce the risk of fire. To defray the cost of thinning efforts, it also is seeking to stimulate a market for the resulting material, including the smaller trees, limbs, & brush -- referred to as woody biomass (WB) -- that traditionally have had little or no commercial value. The increased use of WB faces obstacles, including the high cost of harvesting & transporting it & an unpredictable supply in some locations. This report: (1) identifies key factors facilitating the use of WB among selected users; (2) identifies challenges these users have faced in using WB; & (3) discusses any insights that these findings may offer for promoting greater use of WB. Illustrations.

Urban Stormwater Management in the United States
Author: National Research Council
Publisher: National Academies Press
ISBN: 0309125391
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 611
Book Description
The rapid conversion of land to urban and suburban areas has profoundly altered how water flows during and following storm events, putting higher volumes of water and more pollutants into the nation's rivers, lakes, and estuaries. These changes have degraded water quality and habitat in virtually every urban stream system. The Clean Water Act regulatory framework for addressing sewage and industrial wastes is not well suited to the more difficult problem of stormwater discharges. This book calls for an entirely new permitting structure that would put authority and accountability for stormwater discharges at the municipal level. A number of additional actions, such as conserving natural areas, reducing hard surface cover (e.g., roads and parking lots), and retrofitting urban areas with features that hold and treat stormwater, are recommended.
